How to Fold Origami Lips – Kissing Lips

Step 1

Start with the red side of the paper facing up. Fold the bottom point to the top diagonally.

Fold the right point of the paper to the left point you marked diagonally.

Step 3

Fold the left point to the right diagonally.

Step 4

Take the bottom right corner you folded in the previous step, and fold it up diagonally along the dotted line.

Step 5

Similarly, fold the bottom left corner up diagonally.

Step 6

Take the two corners you folded up in the previous two steps, and fold them down diagonally to the bottom corners.

Step 7

Look at the left triangle of the top layer, and fold its hypotenuse up to align with its top edge.

Repeat this for the right triangle.

Step 8

Fold the right corner down diagonally to form a small triangle.
